Samenvatting

Entrepreneurship education (EE) tools and methods have proliferated across institutions, yet
educators struggle to systematically access, compare, and select from available resources. While
competency frameworks like EntreComp define what students should learn, practitioners lack
navigable guidance on how to implement effective pedagogical approaches. This research
develops an empirically grounded, two-dimensional organisational framework that categorises
EE tools along two critical axes: (1) narrow versus wide entrepreneurship, and (2) tools targeting
student entrepreneurs versus educator facilitators. Drawing on 55,563 longitudinal student
records, 720 surveys, and qualitative interviews, we selected and documented 16 evidence based EE tools within this four-quadrant matrix, each explicitly aligned with EntreComp
competencies. The framework enables institutions to audit tool ecosystems, align selection with
curriculum objectives, and recognise educator professionalisation as foundational to student
success. This practitioner-centred approach bridges the persistent gap in accessibility between
theory and practice in entrepreneurship education.
